Daniel Larsson is our Designer Assistant, a title that he likes because it’s nice, but he would rather call himself Collection Developer because that’s what he does. When not helping the Product Development Department create well-balanced collections, he’s an artist. With a gift to see things from a different perspective, he finds dance in pretty much every aspect of life.

What’s up, Daniel?

– I just made my own lip balm. My lips were really chapped and they needed moisture. At home I found a bar of beeswax and I added some extra virgin olive oil. I used it for one day, and my lips are perfect since. It’s also the perfect gift for my friends. Aristotle made lip balm like this; that’s pretty cool.

And you exercise a lot. Tell us a bit about that.

– Sport is becoming a more integral part of my being. Lat fall I started playing football. I hadn’t played since I was 15, and I realized it’s great. I see it as dance, rather than just football. So I guess I’m more of a dancer than a footballer. But think about it. Eleven people moving in sync, trying to score goals, and at the other end there’s a team of eleven dancers moving in sync to keep you from doing so.
A while back I busted my knee and my doctor told me swimming is great. In order to fix the knee I took up swimming and I realized it’s beautiful and also a lot like dancing. It’s very graceful and all about controlling your body.

THE NAKED TRUTH ABOUT DENIM

We love jeans, a passion we share with everyone who mourns a pair of worn out jeans as a close friend. Jeans share the same soul and attitude as music. The inspiration springs from the same dreams. Besides denim, only leather has the ability to age so beautifully formed by its user into a second skin. Your jeans live your lifestyle. The longer you wear them, the more character and attitude they get.
